It comes with a small but sturdy zippered case that includes everything you need to siphon power off any 12-volt motorcycle (or car) battery and air up on the side of the road.
The previous edition Pocket Pump was a super pared down little steampunk looking raw pump motor and switch that had been liberated from its plastic housing to save weight/space, and to better easily pack aboard a motorcycle.
And yes, the motor now comes in a dedicated plastic housing—thankfully, because those exposed soldered connections on the old unit always made us nervous.
To use, simply screw in the flexible braided hose into the compressor, and with the nicely knurled brass attachment connect to your motorcycle, or car, or any schraeder valve for a quick shot of air.
There’s a check valve on the side of the unit with another Schaeder valve so you can quickly check the pressure with a tire pressure gauge you should already own, like this Lee Parks US-made 0-50psi special. We’ve found that the reading through the pump will be a little higher than the reading direct from the tire after the pump is disconnected, so aim high and then trim down afterwards.
We’ve had very few issues with previous generations of MotoPressor pumps, and the company stands behind their product on the rare occasion we have run into a problem.
